Lots of cyclists stay here, looking for a good value, with wi-fi. The rooms were clean, and the heater worked, which is pretty important even in early October. During both nights, the hotel had very quiet nice customers -- mostly ages 30-60 tired from hiking all day! The carpets were clean, though the wallpaper in the bathroom and floor congoleum,... More

We stayed at Barton's, in the hotel due to the fact that all the cabins were booked. Our room was basic, but clean and roomy. This is an older hotel, but it seems to be well maintained. I liked the fact that it is one story, and you can back right up to your door to unload luggage. There is... More

We stayed in the 1-bedroom "suite," which is on the 2nd floor of a newer addition in the rear of the motel. For two people, it worked really well. It had a complete kitchen, living room, and separate bedroom, all for about $100 a night, in August!. One of the nicest things about it was that it had lots of... More

The room was clean and well furnished, reasonably priced, and the proprietors friendly. The location is close to the entrance to Acadia on route 3. They have a standard motel on one side of the street, and cottages of varying sizes on the other wide. We stayed in a small cottage, and it was perfect. Highly recommended.

Loved the privacy! Close to Bar Harbor and Terry, the host, was friendly, informative, and very welcoming. He told us about a couple of restaurants where we'd get a discount if we showed our room key - which we did - and it worked!

We have stayed at Barton's every trip since 1990. We don't require much more than a clean room and bed and Barton's is always first on our list. It is not fancy and the Motel offers little in the line of family entertainment but the rooms are great and the folks who are there are super friendly. Great place if... More

We spent 4 days at Bartons Cottages. The pros: clean, low cost, friendly owners, convenient to the park & town, nice washer & dryer. The cons: road noise from RT 3 (but at night when Bar Harbor closes up it was not noticable, very small bathroom, no real outdoor space for the kids to run around. Overall the low costs... More

Not fancy but a great value for the economical traveler. Has both motel-like rooms on one side of Rt. 3 in Hull's Cove and self-contained cottages on the other side. June 18th rate for two nights in a large motel room was $102 including taxes!! Cottage rates are less. There is no pool. Washer, dryer and ice machine available. Easy... More

Came up to Bar Harbor without reserving a room this trip to see what the rates would be when we got there (sometimes you get a better rate when you just show up). Been to Bar Harbor many, many times and usually stay elsewhere. Was not looking for a motel with a pool since it was mid-September and was too... More
